Nothing like a great cartoon to address the multi-faceted issues facing us regarding our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. When are we going to realize that might is not enough and that taking out our apparent enemies using information gleaned from friends of the moment takes us down a dangerous road indeed.

I never thought of the point the cartoon makes before, but it further reinforces my belief that war should ONLY be a last resort, instead of a 'first strike option'.

Of course we KNOWINGLY did the stuff like that in the cartoon during the 50 or so years of the cold-war. Prop up a SOB by giving him the means to eradicate his enemies just because he claims to be anti-communist.
